Chapter 2599 Loyalty and Ability

Liu Bo's rank was not low, but in front of Tang Shaoying, he looked very humble, and the hunchback on his back looked even more obvious.

After hearing Tang Shaoying's explanation, Liu Bo quickly waved his hands and said, "Please don't say that. This is embarrassing for me. I am visiting you in a private capacity. As a role model for me to learn from, it is an honor for me that you can take the time to meet me."

His nodding and bowing appearance made Tang Shaoying frown slightly.

The Tang family was planning who to send to Jiangtou City to take up the post. Liu Bo was one of the candidates under consideration, but he was not the best candidate in Tang Shaoying's mind.

This Liu Bo, who didn't know where he got the news from, not only called Tang Shaoying to express his loyalty, he even asked for leave and ran to eastern Guangdong. It was obvious that he was hoping to get the opportunity to go to Jiangtou by flattering her.

This is also normal. The district mayor of Shanghai has the same rank as the top leader of Jiangtou City, but the power they hold is simply incomparable. In terms of actual power, the top leader of Jiangtou City is far more powerful than the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government.

Jiangtou City is now well-known throughout the country and is definitely an excellent springboard for upward advancement. Liu Bo is ambitious about his career and will definitely fight for it with all his might.

"District Chief Liu, what do you think of the federal inspection team going to Chaojiang for an inspection?"

Tang Shaoying asked calmly.

Liu Bo's brain worked quickly, and he knew that Tang Shaoying was testing his ability. If he didn't answer well, he would have no chance at all after being transferred to Jiangtou City.

He chose his words carefully and said: "I think the foreign delegation thing is a double-edged sword."

"Ah."

Tang Shaoying nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Liu Bo said: "The fact that the federal government has taken the initiative to contact us will definitely attract widespread attention from the society and will also be a face-saving thing for Chaojiang. However, if the inspection is just a lot of noise but little action and does not bring any real benefits to the local area, it will be a bit embarrassing."

Liu Bo is quite capable and Tang Shaoying is quite satisfied with his approach.

"If Chaojiang City cannot sign any agreement with the federal inspection team, it will indeed be like shooting itself in the foot."

Liu Bo smiled and said, "You are wise. Actually, I have received many foreign delegations in Shanghai. Although the specifications were not as grand as this time, I know the little thoughts of those foreigners. Before they invest their money, they must make sure there is a bargain to be made. If the local leaders propose some protective measures, or the tax exemption policy does not meet their expectations, those foreigners will not dare to invest casually."

"Provincial Tang should be very clear about how the foreign media have promoted our country over the years. In the impression of most foreigners, our country is almost synonymous with ignorance and backwardness, unreasonable, unfair, and without a spirit of contract. They are also worried that their investment will go down the drain."

Tang Shaoying nodded and said with a smile: "Director Liu has just arrived in East Guangdong and has done me such a big favor. After listening to your words, I also feel that foreign businessmen visiting Chaojiang are not as simple as imagined. The leaders of Chaojiang must be cautious."

Tang Shaoying's words "be cautious in this response" are very meaningful.

Liu Bo bent down and smiled, "What Tang Sheng has in mind is the national economy and people's livelihood of East Guangdong Province. It is so rare to have a good leader like you. I sincerely hope to work under a good leader like you and work hard to make the country prosperous and strong quickly."

Tang Shaoying was in a good mood and pointed in the direction of the sofa. "Director Liu, you are too polite. Let's go sit over there, drink some tea, and chat slowly. I also want to hear your in-depth insights on foreign business inspections."

"Well, please, please."

When Liu Bo saw Tang Shaoying's attitude, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head. It seemed that the rumors from outside were true. The conflict between Mr. Tang and Mr. Liu, who was in charge of Chaojiang, had reached a fever pitch.

Liu Bo is a seasoned man. What he fears most is peace and harmony. Only when conflicts arise can he take the opportunity to take sides and demonstrate his own value.

After sitting down, Liu Bo smiled flatteringly and said, "Provincial Governor Tang, in fact, there is a bit of connection between me and Vice Governor Liu."

Tang Shaoying narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know Liu Fusheng?"

Liu Bo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I have never met Vice Governor Liu, let alone offered him favors. It's just that Liu Fusheng is from Liaonan City, Fengliao Province. He first worked in the Liaonan Municipal Bureau. Before I was transferred back to Shanghai, I also worked in the Liaonan Municipal Bureau..."

Tang Shaoying's face darkened. "District Chief Liu is really good at building relationships. He hasn't even met me, but he's already saying we're related. When you go to East Guangdong Province, are you going to visit Deputy Governor Liu?"

Liu Bo explained: "You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I meant that I actually have quite a few old colleagues in the Liaonan Municipal Bureau. Some of them were my apprentices. As time goes by, they have grown up and are now in management positions in their respective positions."

"So what?" Tang Shaoying asked indifferently.

Liu Bo smiled and said, "I have only passed by Vice-Provincial Liu, but my apprentices and old colleagues have worked with him and have some understanding of him. Through these relationships, I know Vice-Provincial Liu inside and out, so I say that I have some connection with him."

Tang Shaoying understood that Liu Bo was telling him that he had the ability to dig deep into Liu Fusheng's past. On the surface, this kind of digging should not have much effect on Liu Fusheng who was in a high position, but if one wanted to fabricate various rumors about Liu Fusheng, then his past at the grassroots level would be a good breakthrough point.

This is Liu Bo showing his value.

Tang Shaoying said calmly: "It seems that District Chief Liu has a deep connection with Yuedong. However, I would like to hear District Chief Liu's views on work."

Liu Bo nodded repeatedly. He said that as for Liu Fusheng's matter, he was showing his loyalty, and as for solving the problem of the foreign business delegation, he was demonstrating his ability.

"Tang Sheng, based on my years of experience working in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, these foreign investors are very cunning. If you don't know their pulse, you will definitely not be able to get investment."

Tang Shaoying said: "Chaojiang has many products that attract foreigners. At the same time, it is a national special economic zone with favorable policies in all aspects. Foreign businessmen take the initiative to come here, so they must be sincere, right?"

Liu Bo smiled and said, "I guess these foreign businessmen must have had some connection or agreement with Vice Governor Liu when he was in the Federation... Among the three cities in Chaojiang, Jiangtou City should be the most attractive to foreign businessmen. After all, the matter of chips and lithography machines has become known to the world. When Vice Governor Liu talked to them, he must have considered this aspect..."

"If there is someone from Vice Governor Liu in Jiangtou, the project will be easier to discuss. If not, then it will be a bit difficult."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "As leading cadres, we should be responsible for the country and the people, not just for who is whose."
